Forgotten Master Moves. My Tribute to Golf.
Since 2014, I’ve explored countless swing theories, only to find that most answers lie in the timeless moves of the old masters. Their naturally powerful swings were built on simpler concepts—not a million data points. The forgotten fundamentals run like a red thread through this website. I hope you find something here that helps your ball striking.
Read the Why and My Story here.
Sincerely,
Petter Tärbe

Quite a humbling experience, since coaches like Mike Malaska, Jim Hardy, Sean Foley (coaching Tiger for a stretch), Bradley Hughes, Pia Nilsson, Gabriel Hjertstedt and many more have frequented the discussion over the years.
